Give a vote for the metaverse as a serious science and technology topic! Or, at least, vote for me just because you feel like voting aimlessly for something. Or vote for the competition. Doesn’t matter really, I don’t even know who these guys are, but somehow I got picked up as a nominee for the “Best Canadian Science or Technology Blog”.

Who knew there WAS such a thing. And who knew there were other Canadians out there blogging on things like, um, climate audits. (Weather is very important to us up here, I suppose, to the point we need to audit it).

Now, I always thought of myself as very global, or worldly, or virtual worldly…it doesn’t matter that you’re snow-bound half the year, no one needs to know from whence you log-in – you know, the “no one knows you’re a dog on the Net” theory. But my delusion was destroyed when someone commented that I said the word “about” as “aboot” at a Metanomics thing, which has me wondering whether I should now refuse anything but text events.

In any case, I feel distinctly honoured that somehow they a) tracked down I was Canadian and b) think that a blog about stuff that no one understand really is worth putting on a list with other stuff that no one understands and that c) they have such a stunning Canadian-like Wordpress template on which to host this little weird award.
